This magic is a magic that does not exist in this world, a magic that once existed in the world where Alice was born and raised.....magic that turns a strong heart into a weapon.

　Alice, clothed in numerous lights, moves in front of Kaito in an instant and holds her blade towards the Earth God.

''Alice........''

　It's not that I was conscious of something, just that the atmosphere was clearly different from the usual.......Seeing Alice who revealed her bare emotions for the first time, I couldn't help but call out her name at her unusual appearance.
　

''It's not enough........yet.......''

　While looking at Alice, who was raging like a storm with her enormous magical power, the Earth God didn't show any particular movement, but just stared at Alice quietly.
　That's the stance of waiting because he's an absolute powerhouse. A response backed by such assured confidence that Alice would be able to deal with whatever attack she made.

　And that is a fact, and Alice was aware of it.
　 .........

"Go back ... back to the me that I was back then ... back when I was 'weak' ...
Ali...

　While muttering to herself, Alice quickly composed herself low.

''The enemies I'm facing are all of a far higher rank.......yet!　'I defended everything' back then!
Huh?

　And then Alice unleashes. The self of a long, long time ago, the 'true self' that she has sealed away as dead.
　Immediately afterwards, Alice's magic power, which had been gushing out like a storm, quieted down like an ocean without a single wave, and was enveloped in a slight silence.
　The intimidation is gone from Alice, and for the first time, the Earth God is ready for battle.
　His wings spread wide as if to greet him, and then the Earth God's body is blown away towards the far side of the white space.

''Speed, assume, surpass.......threat, recognition, interception!

　But still only muttering nonchalantly, and after stopping in mid-air in a movement that defies the laws of physics, the Earth God spreads his twenty wings wide.
　Then a light dwells on the tips of the wings and a dazzling flash of light is released towards Alice, who is approaching at super speed, and Alice holds a knife in both hands to the approaching flash of light and deflects it without slowing down at all.

'Hands, shortage, attack, increase.'

　Seeing Alice's movements, the Earth God judged that 20 attacks were not enough, so he immediately calculated Alice's speed and released a number of light bullets that was more than ten times as many as earlier.
　It's no longer an easy thing to attack, but a rain of destruction that falls at the speed of light.

　Seeing this, Alice immediately changed her course and avoided it as if she were slipping between light and light. But even as she evades, a rain of light falls on her.
　The Earth God stops in the air like a veritable turret and continues to unceasingly release light bullets.

　The size of the light bullets is small, but they are the attacks of the highest gods....................Each shot contains enough power to 'wipe out an island'.
　It's a constant stream of it, making it impossible to escape.......but even so, that light cannot reach Alice.
　As if she could see the path to take, Alice doesn't slow down while changing her path, but she doesn't slow down, and she slips through the rain of light to flesh out the Earth God and wields her knife.

''........Admiration.''

　Seeing Alice's attack like that, the Earth God seemed to be sincerely impressed, even while making a cut on her arm.
　Then, when he fired the light bullets at Alice again, Alice, who was reading it, immediately distanced herself from the Earth God.
　Without following Alice as she moved away, the Earth God clapped her hands lightly.

''Thou, battle, art.''

　The emotions that boiled up in the Earth God's heart as he continued to unleash a vast number of light bullets and continued his battle with Alice.......were unsparing praise.
　Again, in terms of simple abilities, the Earth God was far superior to the Earth God. Hence, the rain of light just now would have defeated Alice if she had been hit by even one shot.
　However, Alice was able to handle all of them and deal a blow to the Earth God. Her combat skills were even impressive to the Earth God.

　How many battles had the girl in front of her gone through?　How many deaths have been overturned to exist here?
　If the angle at which the light bullets were deflected had been off by even a few millimeters, the bullets would have been hit. If they had made even one mistake in handling the thousands and thousands of flares, they wouldn't have made it in time. If their minds had wandered for even a few tenths of a second, they would have been swallowed up.

　In the Earth God's view, there was not even a 1% chance that Alice would be able to reach her. However, she didn't get it all wrong and grabbed the miracle all too easily.
　Seeing that, the Earth God was convinced.

''........Beautiful.

　Yes, the girl in front of me is like the embodiment of a miracle, and her fighting is nothing short of amazing.
　It's easy to say, but how difficult it is to execute it against an opponent whose basic ability is far greater than yours.... The battlefield.

"Attack, density, rise.
Huh?

　Thinking that, the Earth God further increased the number of light bullets to 'hundreds of times'.
　I see, she's an undeniably strong person who grasps even the slightest possibility.......but what about the ones that don't have a possibility?　The difference between 1% and 0%, that's just too big.

　The Earth God's new 'hundreds of millions' of light bullets, unlike the previous ones, are not aimed at Alice in a straight line, but rather they solidify their surroundings so tightly that not even a single insect can pass through them, and they all converge towards her at once.
　The power of each shot was also increased further. It's impossible to evade, impossible to defend, and two knives are completely insufficient to deflect these numbers.

　Now, what do we do now?　And while thinking like that, at the end of the gaze of the Earth God who was looking at Alice through the light bullets, one of the many lights Alice was wearing was sucked into her body, and Alice's form changed.
　''Her hair becomes a red and purple twin-tail,'' and ''Her eyes become golden...''

"'Deviate!'
"....the law of cause and effect, generation...

　What if there isn't even the slightest chance of that happening?　
　Watching the approaching light bullets deflect as if guided by something, the Earth God spreads his wings wide.......This time the quality, not the number, shoots a bombardment that fills the field of view.

　
　Immediately afterwards, huge trees appeared from the empty space and blocked the oncoming bombardment.

　In the midst of the huge explosion, Alice appears, this time holding a huge wand that could be several meters long, transformed into a girl with two-tone gray and black hair, and holds up her wand.
　Then Alice's magic power explodes and converges on the tip of the wand.

'Drink, tyrannical beast--apocalypse!
Huh?

　As if to say that it was a reprisal for the earlier intentions, a huge jet-black magical bombardment approached the Earth God.
　

''Astonishment, thou, strength, measurement, difficulty.''
How long do you think you can afford to be like that?　I don't know which god you are, but killing a god... it's not the first time I've killed one...!

　Hearing Alice's words as she returns to her 'former tone' and tells him with menacingly sharp eyes, the Earth God realizes that the wound on his right arm that was cut earlier has not regenerated.

''.........Inexplicable, regeneration, impossible?''
I have a weapon that can do that.
Makes sense ... easy to deal with.
What?

　Hearing Alice's words and recognizing that the wound on this arm cannot be healed, the Earth God..............cut off his own arm from his shoulder without any hesitation at all.
　Then he made the chopped off arm disappear with a flash of light and created a 'new arm' on his shoulder.

'Combat, continue.'

　Alice, a god-killing hero, with the art of killing immortal opponents... and an otherworldly god who still shows no bottom... the battle became even more intense.
